Me three. Getting some actual federalism back would be worth letting the states decide the abortion question within their own borders.

Which is why Fred is so consistent on this and many other issues. States should have the right to ban abortions, even the right to lock up 13 year old girls if a majority of voters believe that's the best way to enforce the law. But to make it a federal crime is to do what the leftists do: rule everyone in America from the on-high sanctuary of Washington DC. Fred's against that. So am I.

Let's try that same thinking by stating it like this:

Me three. Getting some actual federalism back would be worth letting the states decide the slavery question within their own borders.

Does that work for you too?

Can someone tell me what QUESTION he was responding to. On the face of it, this is very confusing and a bad thing.

But, what was the question EXACTLY?

He is just saying he is against criminalizing little girls. What is wrong with that?
